Mid-Life Crisis? Maybe. A web designer needs a video in his website and the project changed his life. Gregory Bradley came to this industry late in life. Post 9/11 he was on the missing to make some changes in his life, and he probably never thought it would bring him here.

Adobe blackout? What is your plan if you can’t launch your CC license? Coincidentally, Oliver Peters penned this blog the same week that the Adobe Authentication servers locked many people out of their software. Its an interesting look at many apps that can be used to replace some of the Adobe Functionality. We also discuss the Magnetic Timeline and we learn a trick about how to “wake up” the seeming render bug that has been plaguing 10.1.1.

Final Cut Studio 2014?

“I’m Bobo Fett!” That’s what Anthony Baird feels like sometimes when he is trying to explain in HIS local production community why more people should be using FCPX. This is an interesting “ramble” where Anthony and I discuss Wag the Dog, Margarine, Public Opinion, Keyboard Shortcuts and I share my tip of what I like to call a “Dissolve Awning.

Joe Gill understands Hollywood. In his years in the business at various positions he has gained an amazingly clear view of what we need today. IT based workflows are good, but not enough. Today we need “data – based” workflows and FCPX is uniquely qualified to give us just that. There is some VERY interesting insight into what is going on at Apple as well. I’ll let you listen “between the lines”.

Happy Mothers Day! I decided that instead of NOT having a show this week because of Mothers Day that I’d go off the path a bit and talk about art with the first artist I ever knew in my life. My Mom, I think you’ll enjoy this chat.

How do the clients see FCPX? Today I sit down with a long time client of mine and we discuss the path from FCP7 to Adobe Premiere to FCPX and how Gordon saw the advantages for his company as my client. We also revisit the whole, iMovie Pro discussion a bit. Gordon is the Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer (or something like that) of the company he works for and we have enjoyed a unique and long business relationship and friendship. I think you’re going to enjoy this conversation.

Do you remember when we used to discuss the picture quality of an NLE? Believe it or not that was a big deal. Sean Lander and I discuss the old days and the various points in tech history where giant changes were made and some people got left behind. Sean also talks about how in FCPX he is “Always in the zone”.

Learning new software in a process. I’ve been wanting to talk with my friend Steve Navrat because recently he has gotten over that learning wall in FCPX that we talk about so much. If you want to new users perspective on Final Cut Pro X, this is a good episode to listen to.

You can’t get time back, it is the one resource that we can’t buy. Efficiency in post production is the holy grail. Darren has worked tirelessly over the years to help people find new ways to streamline workflows by suggesting new ways of working. Its no wonder FCPX is his edit system of choice. We also talk about the issue of a “Trail of Bread Crumbs”  and how any edit workflow must retain its integrity. Darren tells an amazing story that DOES NOT follow this rule.
